Record ID: YORYM-AA32C5
Object type: LITHIC IMPLEMENT
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lithic implement, possibly a tool or scraper of Neolithic date. The object is irregularly shaped, with a bulbous terminal and an irregular extension. The bulbous terminal proper has been knapped and re-worked into a rounded end, with steep working. This could be the remains of a scraper edge. The striking platform and bulb of percussion no longer remain though ripples of percussion and scars can still be seen. The flint is a light brownish-grey colour with some lighter flaws. There is no sign of cortex re-growth.
